"More than five million people have been affected by floods
in Pakistan. Hundreds of thousands are homeless, and the situation is getting
worse by the day."
Floods in Pakistan had affected many
lives. Houses were wiped away from the floods, losing hundreds of lives and
losing every precious valuable. Everything has been drained by water. They
tried finding all the remaining possessions they have owned, walking through
tons and tons of water. A woman has lost two of her daughters because of this
tragedy. Another said “Our lives are destroyed.” Lives destroyed from this, but
yet, no help from the government was given. What is wrong with this? How can
the government not give any support and help? Yes, it wasn't anyone's fault
that the flood has happened, but why isn't no one taking a stand and helping?
Imagine yourself trapped in their position
right now. Imagine yourself in a flood; losing your shelter, food, family, personal
belongs, living out on the streets or in this case, out in a “river.” What
would you do? What can you possibly do? I can’t imagine myself there, at all.
They’re facing a terrifying phase at the moment, scarring young infants,
teenagers, adults, and seniors’ lives. Wouldn’t you want the government to fix
this?
Hearing about this basically scares me. Makes
me realize how thankful I am to be living in California right now. So far,
we’ve haven’t had any terrifying events happening recently. Hopefully, nothing
will happen soon either. It opened my eyes to see how thankful and grateful I
am to be in a safer environment. But hey, anything can happen in the next
months, weeks, days, hours, minuets, and even seconds. Shit happens.
